Jazz for aficionados

Jazz for aficionados

I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.

Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.

The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".

"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.

While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.

Enjoy the music.

If it looks like a troll, and walks like a troll and sounds like a troll, then by George, it's a troll!!

Frogman, what you have not stated speaks volumes about who you are, what you have not looked at speaks volumes about who you are. Did you look at the two links I presented?

As far as I'm concerned, your posts confirm all of my thesis in regard to the "United States of America". "If you see a lynching folks, just look the other way". If you see Black bodies floating all over New Orleans just look the other way.

They sent the "Keystone Cops" and a bunch of stooges to New Orleans, while they sent the "A" Team half way around the world; would you care to comment on that FACT Frogman?

Schubert, this is not the country we were raised to believe in.

I had one uncle who went crazy in the Burma Campaign because of the snakes. I had another uncle who fought in "The Battle of The Bulge", he told me about bullets whistling past his ears, and seeing bloody soldiers falling to the left and right of him; the order was to "charge", and that's what they did. He was certain that each minute would be his last. I could see fear and determination in his eyes when he told me this.

For four years I trained at Scott AFB to respond to disasters, only to see the outfit I trained with, to go to the Pacific Ocean, and not to New Orleans where they could have saved so many lives; you think I'm not upset; especially when everything is getting worse, including reaction to injustice.
